[Bug 833065] Re: fontconfig-voodoo crashed with TypeError in getUserDefaultLanguage(): expected string or buffer

 

It seems like dpkg does not safely replace the old LocaleInfo.py file
with the new one when upgrading to 0.49 or 0.50. I'm not able to tell if
that is a general dpkg problem, or if the reason can be found in the
language-selector package.
